About Helen Pilcher Books

Dr. Helen Pilcher is an experienced science writer and a former scientist. She has a PhD and an MSc in neuroscience from London's Institute of Psychiatry, and an undergraduate degree in psychology. Previously a reporter for the journal Nature, her work has appeared in many outlets including New Scientist, Nature, Science Focus, BBC Wildlife, The Big Issue, and BBC Online. Unusually for a science writer, Pilcher also used to work as a stand-up comedian. She regularly gives talks at school events and festivals, and can often be heard chatting on podcasts and the radio. She teaches science writing at Leicester University and runs workshops on science communication for various colleges and companies. Pilcher lives in rural Warwickshire with her family. She has written two books for Bloomsbury's specialist science imprint Sigma; this is her first trade book.
